Sometimes you announce or even leak prior to, while you’re conducting surveillance or wiretaps, to record the reaction of the suspects. It can often flush out some incriminating activity. Especially if you expect a suspect might destroy evidence etc.
Often crimes of tampering with evidence etc are higher grade charges than the original crimes that started the investigation.
